These arrangements offer rhythmic, contemporary sounding versions of some of my old Christmas favorites. I especially enjoyed his swinging version of the "Ukranian Bell Carol and the jazz-waltz rendition of "We Three Kings". However this book on the low end of "Early Advanced". Some of the arrangements may be a little thin to hold the interest of advanced players who will be able to sight-read these without difficulty.The arrangements are:1) Angels from the Realms of Glory2) Pat-a-Pan3) O Come, All Ye Faithful4) Ukrainian Bell Carol5) We Three Kings6) Coventry Carol7) Fum, Fum, Fum8) Angels We Have Heard on High9) Silent Night10) Ding, Dong, Merrily on High
